nForce 2 Dual Channel Question...

I've got an Epox 8RDA+ rev 2.1 with a pair of BH-6 512MB modules. My problem with this setup is that whenever I run with both modules @ 2-2-2-7 @ 210mhz FSB the system always fail Prime95. Prime95 runs fine with only 1 module.
Now, I understand that first of all, 512mb sticks are higher density than 256mb and thereby making it harder to overclock. I also know that by running dual channel, it somewhat lessen the overclockability.
Now here's the question. Would it help any if I switch mobo? I mean, is this instability at high FSB with 2 modules a mobo related issue? If it indeed helps, then I am thinking of switching to Abit NF7-S or DFI LanParty .....
What do ya think?

Thx,
 
Try 2-2-2-8 or11 as many nF2 users have found those to be better timings for performance. If it still isn't stable try increasing the vDIMM and try slots 2-3 if you haven't already. It's possible you will have better luck with another board but I'd just back off timings slightly and shoot for higher fsb since that'll compensate for any performance increase the tighter timings were providing.
